Join us for a sail on the waka hourua Hinemoana where you can learn the history of waka hourua, sharpen your sailing skills, or just relax and let the waka take you on a journey. There are limited places (23 manuhiri per sail) so please book early to avoid missing out. We look forward to welcoming you aboard Hinemoana and sharing the matauranga of our ancestors.

Hinemoana is part of a fleet owned by Te Toki Voyaging Trust. The trust was established over 30 years ago through the vision and leadership of tohunga waka, Hoturoa Barclay-Kerr (Tainui). Hoturoa's whakapapa links him deeply to Kaawhia Moana, the ancient settlement of the Tainui people and Canoe. Since its inception, Te Toki Voyaging Trust has built a vast fleet of various sailing and paddling waka.

Te Toki is dedicated to the values of aroha, whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga. These values are the foundation on which we base our core practices. An expectation of charter groups is they uphold these values.

For Whakaraupō, Flying Geese Trust is co-ordinating the waka hourua visit. The trust is also is a sub-affiliate to Te Toki.
